US Rejects Demands For ACTA Transparency

Posted by Soulskill on from the yet-we-still-see-right-through-you dept.

Unlike most other ACTA countries that have called for transparency without condition, the US has set conditions that effectively seek to trade its willingness to release the text for gains on the substance of the text."
